“When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money. That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader, once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that others people can use. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.” – Steve Jobs

Tips for Maintaining Healthy Boundaries
Maintaining healthy boundaries takes work but it is so worth it. So here are some tips for maintaining those healthy lines in the sand:
- Keep your boundaries flexible by making time to regularly check in with yourself and assess how you’re feeling. What are your needs now? What has changed since you set those boundaries?
- Make a list of things you need to be happy and healthy. It can help you as a reminder if you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure about what steps to take next.
- If someone is not respecting your boundaries, remove yourself from the situation as soon as possible and seek support if necessary.
- Keep your expectations realistic – not everyone will respect your boundaries (and that’s okay). Be willing to compromise with others, but don’t compromise yourself!
